Very welcoming, laid back, easy to talk to, but with the assurance you are in good solid hands. You can tell they have your best interests at heart from the off.’

Who Needs a Financial Consent Order?
If you have reached a financial agreement during or after divorce, a Financial Consent Order is essential to make that agreement legally binding. Without one, there is nothing to stop your ex from making further financial claims in the future — even years down the line.

Financial Consent Order FAQs
A Financial Consent Order is a legal document approved by the court that formalises the financial agreement between divorcing spouses. It sets out exactly how your assets, savings, pensions and debts will be divided, and once approved, it becomes legally binding. At NJP Solicitors, our experienced Financial Consent Orders Solicitors will ensure the order is correctly drafted and fully reflects your agreement, providing long-term security for both parties.
Even if you and your ex-partner have agreed everything amicably, that agreement is not legally binding without a court-approved Financial Consent Order. Without it, either party could change their mind or make further financial claims in the future. Our Financial Consent Orders Solicitors in Telford can help you turn your verbal or written agreement into a secure legal outcome, giving you peace of mind for the years ahead.
Yes. If both of you agree on the financial terms, you will not need to attend court. Our Financial Consent Orders Solicitors will prepare the necessary documents and submit them to the court on your behalf. The judge will review the agreement to ensure it is fair before approving it. This process is usually straightforward and avoids the stress and cost of attending a court hearing.
Not exactly. A financial settlement is the agreement you reach with your ex about how to divide assets and finances. A Financial Consent Order is the legal document that makes that agreement official and enforceable by the court. Our Financial Consent Orders Solicitors can help you draft this document to ensure that your financial settlement carries legal weight and cannot be challenged later.
Once the paperwork is submitted, a Financial Consent Order typically takes four to six weeks to be approved by the court. This may vary depending on how busy the court is and whether any changes are needed. Our Financial Consent Orders Solicitors in Telford will handle the process for you, monitor progress, and keep you updated every step of the way.
While not legally required, it is strongly recommended that both parties receive independent legal advice. Courts are more likely to approve a Financial Consent Order when it is clear that both individuals understood the terms and made the agreement freely. At NJP Solicitors, our Financial Consent Orders Solicitors provide clear, expert advice tailored to your circumstances, ensuring your order is fair, valid and enforceable.
Yes, and they often should be. Pensions can be one of the most valuable assets in a marriage and should be properly accounted for in any financial settlement. Our Financial Consent Orders Solicitors will ensure your order includes the correct pension sharing provisions and is accompanied by the required Pension Sharing Annex, giving you full legal protection.
A clean break clause in a Financial Consent Order means that once the terms of the order are met, neither party can make further financial claims against the other. This includes claims on income, property, inheritance, or pensions. Our Financial Consent Orders Solicitors in Telford can include this provision to help you fully separate your finances and move forward without lingering obligations or uncertainty.
Yes, you can apply for a Financial Consent Order even after your divorce is complete. However, it is usually best to deal with finances during the divorce process to ensure everything is resolved together. Our Financial Consent Orders Solicitors can advise you on the best timing and guide you through the process whether you are midway through a divorce or already legally separated.
At NJP Solicitors, we offer fixed-fee services for straightforward Financial Consent Orders, giving you clarity and control over your legal costs. For more complex financial arrangements, our Financial Consent Orders Solicitors will provide a clear and transparent quote based on your specific needs, so you always know what to expect with no hidden charges.
